The Calgary Stampeders have signed Canadian defensive back Courtney Stephen, who spent the first six seasons of his CFL career with Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
In 96 career regular-season games for the Ticats, the 29-year-old Brampton, Ont., native amassed 221 defensive tackles, including nine tackles for loss, 39 special-teams tackles, 12 interceptions, two sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 16 knockdowns.
Stephen also played nine post-season contests for Hamilton including the 2014 Grey Cup.
"Courtney is an established CFL veteran who has experience as a starter at safety and has also excelled on special teams," Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel said in a release. "He provides depth for us in both of those areas and he'll certainly have an opportunity to earn a significant role on the team in training camp."
